Animal
On the afternoon of the morning
my neighbor showed off his new slingshot
I find a dead squirrel stiffening in the grass.
Is she someone I know? Did she grow up
with her siblings at my backyard feeder?
The nick on her ear seems familiar, but then
my neighbor and I, we are human and she
was just another animal.
